Indra reigns as king of the gods from Svarga atop Mount Meru, commanding the Devas, with Gandharvas and Apsaras serving in his celestial court.
The Apsaras, Gandharvas, and the wish-fulfilling Parijata tree all dwell in Svarga, filling Indra's celestial court with divine song, enchanting dance, and flowers that never wilt.
Urvashi is the most celebrated of the Apsaras, a celestial nymph whose beauty brought kings to ruin and whose descent to earth to live with the mortal King Pururavas became one of the great love stories of Vedic and Puranic literature.
The Apsaras, celestial nymphs of surpassing beauty, emerged from the Kshira Sagara during the Samudra Manthan, rising from the milk-white waters to enchant both gods and demons alike.
